Obama, vuvuzela and the political correctness

President Obama’s personal approval rating is much higher than the approval of his policies. No word from the pollsters yet how much the political correctness distorts the results.

Michelle Obama (who is trying to make us stop eating cup-cakes and reduce our carbon footprint while she is burning fuel vacationing in Spain) has personal approval over 50%. Really?

Do you know anybody who tells you all the time: ‘you are too fat and drive too much’? Most likely, by the time they say: ‘you are too fat’ their approval rating is down to 10%.

Barack Obama will be a world-wide celebrity regardless of his actions in office. His Presidency was deemed ‘historical’ for the mere fact of his skin color. Since his skin color will never change the ‘historical’ label will stick with him even if he plays golf and does nothing else for the next two years.

Take for example Nelson Mandela. As a president Mandela was a complete disappointment. He was responsible for thousands of deaths in South Africa because he refused to acknowledge the spreading of HIV in the country. Mandela was sticking to his talking points about his people suffering from malnutrition while they were dying of AIDS. But if you point that out you will be labeled a racist, so you better make a movie about Mandela and sports.

And talking about sports – clubs and organizations all over the world are trying to ban the vuvuzela out of their events.

They called scientist to measure the noise, they call police to research it, and they issued statements twisting and spinning words to find the politically correct way to ban the vuvuzela out, but to let the Brazilian band in without being called a racist...

I am nice to her. I just believe that people give politically correct answers when answering personal popularity polls for the first family.

Another word that will always be associated with Obama ... ‘mistake.’
